You can select the data type if you want to pop up a Youtube video, iFrame or piece of content (html)

If you select HTML, you can use data target to target a section ID (eg: #selector)

Captions can be added to images in the lightbox by editing the image ALT tag. If you have more than one lightbox on the page, the lightbox that pop ups will become a gallery slider.

If you need more control over the lightbox, you can open the pg-lightbox-main JS file in your favourite text editor. Here you will see a couple of JS options you can easily change.
